Urban Super Medical Saint

After a brief silence, Fang Wanyue wanted to ask Ge Dongxu to showcase something impressive to everyone, but before she could speak, her mother grabbed her and glared at her fiercely.

This time was different from the last because Ge Dongxu chose to smile without saying a word, which meant that the question should be asked and left at that, and not pursued further.

The family reunion dinner ended in the evening.

Since Feng Guoqiang, Feng Guozhen, and others were important and busy figures, they stayed a little while after dinner to chat with Elder Feng and Ge Dongxu before taking their leave, leaving behind a group of three generations of the Feng Family to continue keeping Elder Feng company in the courtyard house.

"I'm old, and you young people should have your own lives. Dongxu, it's rare for you to visit Jiangnan, so let Chenqing and the others take you around. No need to specifically stay here just to keep this old man company," said Elder Feng with a smile after Feng Guoqiang and the others had departed.

Given the significant age difference between them, Ge Dongxu indeed did not have much to talk about with Elder Feng for an extended period. Hearing this, he responded without fuss, "Alright then, Senior Brother should also rest early. I'll give you a slight massage tomorrow morning."

"Good, go on," Elder Feng said with a smile as he patted Ge Dongxu's hand.

After saying this, Elder Feng specifically instructed Feng Chenqing and the others.

"In this bitter cold and late night, there isn't much else to do. How about we find a club, get a place to have a drink, and sing some songs?" After leaving Elder Feng's room, Feng Chenming hunched his shoulders and then looked at Ge Dongxu as if asking for his opinion.

Feng Chenming, the son of Feng Guozhen, had the peculiar fact that his father was a military man, yet he had no interest in the military. Instead, he had an interest in business, had established a foreign trade company that dealt with wine from France and was doing quite well.

Because of this, he frequented clubs and similar venues more often than his older brother, Feng Chenqing, who worked in government, and he was well-connected.

"Yeah, sure, let's go to Di Jin. I've got a New Year charity fundraising event there tomorrow, so it would be great to see how the preparations are going," Feng Chenming had hardly finished speaking when Fang Wanyue immediately clapped her hands in approval.

"You girl, why are you jumping in? We have to see what Dongxu thinks," Feng Chenqing, the eldest, said with a joking glare at Fang Wanyue and then also turned his gaze to Ge Dongxu.

"Ah, that's right, Dongxu, I heard from my mom that you're also a big boss, and Qinghe Herbal Tea is your company's product," said Feng Chenqing, prompting Fang Wanyue to look at Ge Dongxu with shining eyes as she seemed to remember something.

"Wanyue, don't cause trouble, okay? You and your group..." Feng Chenqing and the others exclaimed in frustration upon hearing this and, without waiting for Fang Wanyue to finish, hastily interrupted her.

"Hey, what do you mean, dear cousins? I'm doing charity work here—I'm trying to help poor children in the mountains who can't afford to go to school. How is that causing trouble?" Fang Wanyue immediately retorted with a sense of indignation.

"Doing charity work to help poor children in the mountains is indeed a good thing." Hearing Fang Wanyue, Ge Dongxu was reminded of Liu Jiayao's support for children in the mountains and couldn't help but feel more fondness and goodwill towards Fang Wanyue, interjecting with a smile.

"See, see, even Dongxu says so!" Fang Wanyue said triumphantly, puffing up her chest proudly upon Ge Dongxu taking her side.

Ge Dongxu had a status that was anything but ordinary. Once his "elder" spoke up, people like Feng Chenqing had no choice but to exchange glances and show a wry smile, not daring to make any more jokes about Fang Wanyue.

Seeing that Feng Chenqing and the others did not dare to make fun of her anymore, Fang Wanyue looked at them triumphantly. Then, her eyes filled with anticipation, she turned to Ge Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, just now you mentioned that helping children in poor mountainous areas was a good thing. Shouldn't you, as the boss, also make a gesture?"

"Of course!" Ge Dongxu replied as if it were a matter of course, although he faintly felt that something might be amiss.

"That's great! I knew you were a good person since you became martial brothers with Grandpa. Now, as one of the initiators of the New Year's charity donation event of the Jingcheng Red Detachment of Women, I formally invite you to attend our New Year's charity event tomorrow night." Fang Wanyue immediately jumped up with joy upon hearing this. Then, as if performing a magic trick, she quickly took out an invitation from her handbag and handed it to Ge Dongxu with both hands, quite seriously.

Ge Dongxu was momentarily stunned, but he still accepted the invitation and smiled, "Then I'll definitely be there to show my support tomorrow."

By now, he had begun to understand that this charity event might be a bit special, but it was definitely inappropriate to back out since he had already given his word. Besides, Ge Dongxu also believed that, regardless of what was special about the evening, the intention was always good, and he shouldn't dampen Fang Wanyue's enthusiasm.

Seeing Ge Dongxu accept the invitation and clearly state that he would definitely support the event tomorrow, Fang Wanyue immediately gave Ge Dongxu a sweet smile. She even made a special bow, then triumphantly said to Feng Chenqing and the others, "My dear cousins, do you think you have the choice not to come now?"

Feng Chenqing looked at Fang Wanyue's triumphant expression, his face a mix of chagrin and a wry smile. Since Ge Dongxu had clearly stated he would attend, how could they possibly not go?

"Since I'm going to the Empire Club anyway tomorrow, I won't go tonight. I'll rest early; after all, it's bitterly cold outside. Just go about your business, don't worry about me," Ge Dongxu said, naturally not the type to enjoy crowded, opulent places. After accepting Fang Wanyue's invitation, he thought about it and then spoke.

...

At a hotel in Jingcheng, at the coffee bar.

"Shiyi, since Director Wu doesn't have any arrangements for tonight, why don't you call Mr. Ge and invite him out?" Liu Manman, the leading actress of the Jiangnan Province Entertainment Station, said to Wu Shiyi.

"Maybe I shouldn't. He obviously comes from an influential background; I better not bother him with a call," Wu Shiyi said, tempted, but she quickly shook her head.

"You're still too young, there are some things you don't understand! Precisely because he's an influential man, that's all the more reason to call him. In our line of work, if you want to climb the ladder and fend off the advances and ill intentions of some powerful and wealthy men, you always need somebody in your corner. Since Mr. Ge left you his phone number, it's clear he's somewhat interested in you, and I think he's a decent person, not like those sleazy veterans you find in those circles. Besides, he's still young. If you don't take action now, before too long, a man like him won't lack for women around him and he'll have forgotten all about you," Liu Manman stirred her coffee gently, her movements graceful, speaking unhurriedly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Wu Shiyi looked at Liu Manman and felt her melancholy gaze, her heart stirring mildly, reminded of the rumors within the station alleging that Liu Manman's rise was linked to a leader from the province. But recently that leader had been taken down, and now there were rumors in the station that she might be replaced in the new program.

At first, Wu Shiyi did not believe it, because Liu Manman had always seemed to her a dignified and cultured woman with literary talent. Now, having heard her say this and sensing the melancholy in her eyes, for some reason, she started to believe those rumors.

"But, but, I, I don't have the confidence! What if he ignores me?" After a while, Wu Shiyi looked at Liu Manman and said with a wry smile.
